History

When Mario, Goombella, Koops, and Flurrie first arrive at the Glitz Pit, they see the champion, Rawk Hawk in action, and can see that he is wearing a Crystal Star on his Championship Belt. Mario and the gang decide they should join the Glitz Pit's fighters and work their way up through the ranks to get the Champ's Belt, and then get the Crystal Star. The group starts out in the Minor League, where they meet King K, Bandy Andy, Master Crash, and Cleftor.

The gang eventually gets an addition to their team, a newly hatched Baby Yoshi, who is the only one who can defeat the tough fighters, the Armored Harriers. King K and Bandy Andy suddenly disappear, and are found later stuffed under a giant yellow block, struggling to stay alive. The heroes advance to the Majors, and eventually are about to fight Rawk Hawk.

The group gets locked in their locker room, as Rawk Hawk planned, so he could win by default. The gang finds a way to get out, and challenge Rawk Hawk, and defeat him, becoming the champ. The heroes later find out that Grubba, who owns the Pit is the one who made Bandy and King K "disappear", and sucks the life out of them for ever-lasting youth. The heroes fight Grubba (who has turned into Macho Grubba), defeats him and getting the Crystal Star. Prince Mush, the original Champ is released from Grubba's machine and is re-united with his sister, Jolene. The heroes claim the Crystal Star and are on their way.

Glitz Pit Competiors

During the Glitz Pit, Mario and friends must battle through many competitors. These characters have unique team names that involve certain enemies fought during the journey. Note that this list shows the ranks after Mario, named The Great Gonzales, becomes champion or Ranked 1. These teams consists of:

Special Notes: Mini-boss fight. This fight cannot be won until Yoshi becomes Mario's partner. They can be defeated solely with his Gulp technique and after winning this fight, Mario is upgraded to the Major league room.

Special Notes: Championship fight. After Mario defeats him, Mario will earn the Champ's Belt and is able to sleep in the Champion's room where it can fill up his Star Meter as well.

Trivia

There is an event that is similar to the Glitz Pit called the Beef-Off which is featured in Mario & Luigi: Dream Team. In the Beef Off, Mario and Luigi must fight the enemies and win by certain battle conditions (such as winning with only Excellent attacks).
